A fascinating look at the careers of some of Broadway's greatest
female performers in their own words In Here's to the Ladies, the
follow-up to Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great
Women of Musical Theater, theatre journalist Eddie Shapiro sits
down for intimate, career-encompassing conversations with yet more
of Broadway's most prolific and fascinating leading women. Full of
detailed stories and reflections, his conversations with such
luminaries as Barbara Cook, Kelli O'Hara, Heather Headley, Faith
Prince, Stephanie J. Block, Tonya Pinkins, and a host of others dig
deep into each actor's career -together, these chapters tell the
story of what it means to be a leading lady on Broadway over the
past fifty years. Alan Cumming described Nothing Like a Dame as
“an encyclopedia of modern musical theatre via a series of tender
meetings between a diehard fan and his idols. Because of Eddie
Shapiro's utter guilelessness, these women open up and reveal more
than they ever have before, and we get to be the third guest at
each encounter.” This new volume brings more fly-on-the-wall
opportunities for fans to savour, students to study, and even the
unindoctrinated to understand the life of the performing artist.
